The present volume is the result of a Leiden University workshop on women in imperial China by a group of international scholars. In recent years Chinese women and gender studies have attracted more and more attention, and this book is one of the first efforts to focus on major aspects of this subject. It covers a wide range of topics and disciplines, including bibliography, demography, history, legal studies, literature, history of medicine, and philosophy.
Chinese Women in the Imperial Past can rightly be seen as connected with the new Brill journal NAN NÃ, Men, Women and Gender in Early and Imperial China, which was founded to provide the scholarly community with a lasting forum in which the subject of Chinese women and gender can be dealt with in its own right.

"...the high quality of the analysis, the richness of primary materials, and the originality of the individual undertakings means that no one working in the field of Chinese women's history can afford to pass the volume by ⦠Brill and editor Zurndorfer should be commended both for the current volume and for their ongoing commitment to developing this rich sub-field.' â Ellen Widmer, in: Nan Nü, 2000
